MADISON, N.J. --- Senior Brian Hunscher (Ypsilanti, MA/Ann Arbor Pioneer HS) along with juniors Diana Feldmann (York, PA/Central York HS), Matt Lutcza (Dingmans Ferry, PA/Delaware Valley HS) and Cadee Rockwell (Sinking Spring, PA/Wilson West Lawn HS) from Moravian College have been named to the 2010 Landmark Conference Fall All-Academic Team announced Wednesday, December 8th.

The Landmark Conference has selected 32 student-athletes for the 2010 Fall Landmark All-Academic Team.  Two male and two female athletes from each of the eight Landmark institutions were selected for the team which honors athletes who have excelled athletically and academically.  Nominees could compete in any of the Landmark fall sports and must be a sophomore or older with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better.

The fall All-Academic Team features 16 seniors, 14 juniors and two sophomores. Twelve of the 32 honorees are earning All-Academic honors for the second time in their career, while one honoree claims the honor for a third time. In addition all six fall sports sponsored by the Landmark Conference are represented with at least one student-athlete.  The Landmark Conference will select an All-Academic Team for each of the three athletic seasons during the year.
